How we price grease filter exchange
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bucks Horn Oak
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease left in baffles after washing and grease dripping from the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Bucks Horn Oak
Can you come to Bucks Horn Oak after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Bucks Horn Oak keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Bucks Horn Oak?
Fire safety enforcement in Bucks Horn Oak is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What we are called out for in Bucks Horn Oak
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bucks Horn Oak is Chase Community Hospital, about 4.5 miles south.
Before booking anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bucks Horn Oak can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Bucks Horn Oak, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly.

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Bucks Horn Oak. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
